OUR COMMUNITY

Find your fellow word-wranglers!

Writing doesn’t have to be a solo quest. Whether you’re chasing a brand-new idea, battling through edits, or dusting off a half-finished draft, you’ll find encouragement, inspiration, and a good dose of writerly mischief here.

We’re a supportive community of storytellers who meet all year round to share words, swap wisdom, and cheer each other on through every draft and plot twist.

   🦕 Come for the motivation.
   🦕 Stay for the camaraderie.
   🦕 Leave with more words on the page.

Your story is waiting.

Novelling November

Every November, we dare ourselves to do the impossible: write an entire first draft in just 30 days. No editing, no second-guessing—just raw, unfiltered storytelling.

Whether you’re starting a brand-new idea or dusting off an old one, NoNo is your chance to dive in, write fast, and see where your imagination takes you.

You don’t have to go it alone—our community is here to cheer every word you write and celebrate every milestone.

   🦕 30 days.
   🦕 One draft.
   🦕 Unlimited creativity.

Are you in?

ABOUT JURASSIC COAST WRITERS

We take writing seriously - but never ourselves.

 

We may have officially adopted the name Jurassic Coast Writers in 2024, but our story goes back much further. Many of us have been writing together for over a decade—and since lockdown, we’ve kept the words flowing with weekly online meetups.

Our community is a lively mix: fantasy, sci-fi, and horror fans rub shoulders with romance and literary writers, and everything in between. Whatever your genre, you’ll find a warm welcome here.

Back in the day, we threw ourselves into NaNoWriMo, the international challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. That event has since fizzled out, but we loved it too much to let it go. So now we run our own November Novelling Challenge (NoNo)—and plenty of other events throughout the year. (Check the calendar to see what’s coming up!)

All our events are posted here on the website, but the real fun happens in conversation. If you want to meet other Jurassic Writers, share your progress, and enjoy a steady supply of encouragement, you’ll find us hanging out on Discord and Instagram
